Few solons attend anti-Islam speech

Fewer than 20 of Idaho’s 105 lawmakers attended a Statehouse presentation Thursday night on refugee resettlement featuring two anti-Islam speakers, as close to 100 protesters lined the hallway outside the meeting, carrying signs saying, “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself” and “Refugees Welcome.” The Rev. Shahram Hadian told an audience of nearly 200 people, “I’m not against refugees, but I’m against this particular program as it stands. … This program is broken, it’s corrupted.” He and Christopher Holton, vice president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., said they believe Islam teaches that its adherents should kill non-believers, and they said the U.S. should be examining the ideologies of those it considers admitting as refugees/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
